The T. K. D. members selected him as their Mr. Big this year. HSonny's a Dead Eyed Dick on the basketball court. He really can arch that inllated oval through the hoop! VVhat's more, he plans to follow through and become another Nat Holman- a top Hight basketball coach. BUYER, MARLAND HCoach Boyer, as he hopes to be called in his future years, has learned by experience how the basketball game is played. His wise cracks kept band and orchestra rehearsals from becoming too dull. Always ready with a smile to help out where assistance is necessary, Boyer No. 2 leaves us with his basketball under one arm, his tooter under the other, and his diploma in the bag. VVhere do we go from here? I .M BR ', A I' sure ca s an enemy o i e s e fdjlhe wav a f , Igor s oesr't upe r ave in the vorl e b ' ves t easur I e benelici an duties. ' she l ' s to d 1c igg 'e wish h r well in her c osen ' . tior at of es de' gning. 1 BRAZITIS, REGINA jean's good nature and keen sense of hu- mor are catchy. She is very fond of reading, particularly books dealing with aviation, for her ambition is a lofty one-to become an aviatrix. Since onward and upward seem to be the watchwords in this line of endeavor, may she attain the heights to which she aspires. BREEDON, ELIZABETH To this quiet but ambitious classmate we say, in her own words, Hello, Pal! Elizabeth aspires to become either a good typist or an athletic instructor. She is plan- ning to enter Virginia State College. The good sportsmanship which she exhibits will always serve her well. Our best wishes gn with you, Elizabeth. BRENNAN, MARY From our observation, we believe Mary's creed is this: I believe in God, for I have seen it snow, I believe in miracles, for I have seen a seed grow out of nothingness into a golden glow. ' New York City is her lodestoneg to be an airplane stew rdess is her desire. This little gal has what it takes! I I 1 I 1 ',,n n I u . ,gn BRINICII, ESTHER Gay slid ambitious is Esther. . ' ' . 7 by mannler docs not keep her fine qualities concealed. Esther s ' is Stamp and photograph collecting. To go VVest is her immediate desire. ller friendly manner will be helpful in her realm of endeavor-that of an air stewardess. May go fortune be hers always! . BRINICII, HELEN Helen's unique in that she enjoys watching a baseball game. tMost girls cannot Uappreciateu such a contest. Ahem!l Louisa M. Alcott is her favorite author, G. VV. T. W. is one of her favorite books. Helen plans to continue her secretarial training at the Ford School of Business. To tour the U. S. is her present principal desire. Page Thirteen 77 l V 4

THE PLAYERS G .50 U- BLACKTON, JACK There are two days which we should never worry about -Yesterday and Tomorrow. A sound philosophy, Jack thinks. He wants to lead a band. We suggest that he get in touch with Sammy Kaye for his preliminary training. Jack can be seen trippin' on someone else's toes in the girls' gym every sec- ond lunch period! VVhat a guy! BLANKENHORN, BETTY Betty is the type of girl in whom one can confide all one's secrets and troubles. She's a girl with a cheery voice, a warm smile, and a friendly attitude toward all. She has chosen 'nursing as her life's work and plans to go into training at the Pottsville Hospital. A white cap to you, Betty! BLANKENHORN, MARGUERITE Blushes come and blushes go, but freckles stay forever. Redheads usually do possess freckles, and why should Marguerite be an exception! You may think her a quiet girl, but when she is among her own friends-well, there's just no appeasing her. Marguerite will make a fine secretary, for she possesses both initiative and dependability. BOHLER, WILLIAM Bill believes that one should get the maximum amount of work out of the mtntmum amount of study x gemarkable lad he ts, indeed.

Membership in Uncle Samuel's Air Corps is his ultimate goal. BOLLINGER, JANE The joy of youth and health her eyes dis- played, and ease of heart her every look convey'd. What a splen- did specimen of wholesome girlhood is Jane! Shakespeare says of one man, He hath a daily beauty in his life. This can be applied equally as well to Jane. May good fortune ever attend her! BORRELL, JOSEPH Joe is a product of that neighboring metropolis, Marlin. Shopwork claims his general interest, wood- work is his particular joy. Ile takes delight in a good football gameg he plays a line game of baseball. His inseparable playmate is Ed Orlosky. VVhat a duo! At present 'fJoe would like to be a part of Uncle Sam's Navy. Ship ahoy there, 'fJoe ! I BOVVEISS, MARIAN Marian is a veritable black-eyed susan. She puisesses a certain neatness which we all admire. This raven- haired Xlass gets her real school-girl complexion from having walked brisklylzo The Hill each day from Mount Carbon. Having read Gone1VVith the VVind is her proudest accomplishment to date. Goodsluck to you, Bright Eyes! Xt BOW , MARY ELLEN UI love tranquil solitude and such societyk s is quiet, wise and good. It appears that Mary Ellenls outloo on life is contained in this statement. She plans to go into training at the St. Joseph's Hospital of Reading to become a white angel of mercy - a nurse. VVhat a worthy ambition! x ' Page T fwelve l SENIOR CLASS '41

THE PLAYERS BROWN, WILLIAM Here's a chap who'd like to command the interest of Chief Gsman Edgar Hoover and make his favorite expression, Hey, Slug! more practical, for he's interested in becoming a member of the F. B. I. In this capacity he'll surely make more than a trombone moan! Bill hopes to enter the U. of Pennsylvania, where he'll study law to prepare himself for G-man duties. BUBSER, ROBERT Bob is rather quiet and reserved. My tongue within my lips I rein, for who talks much must talk in vain appears to be his motto. He wasn't especially fond of study- ing, but then books aren't everything in life, are they, Boh ? However, we trust that he won't take things too easily. BUCKLEY, JAMES Holy Smokes! QThat's his pet expresa sion.l It's that rootin', tootin', hard-riding, broncho-busting Buck Buckley! Riding horses is his hobby, The Mysterious Rider is his favorite novel. From what we gather we surmise that this chap must like to ride!!! Soon he'll be sporting legs like marks of parentheses K J. At least, he has horse sense. BUEHLER, LORETTA Witty plus happy-go-lucky equals I.o- retta. Iler actions are determined by the mood she happens to be in. Sports Cc-specially swimmingj top the list so far as her out-of- school interests are concerned. As to just what she plans to do when she leaves P. H. S., nothing has been decided upon. VVhat- ever it may be, I.oretta, our best wishes go with you. BUSH, VVARREN Chemistry is this fellow's favorite subject. The reason? VVell, we suppose he looks upon it as did Francis Bacon, who said, Chemistrie is like unto a boile-there be muche matter in it. That's no lie! fBush's pet expressionj is it, VVar- ren? lIis spare time is spent in looking at irew cars, his principal desire is to earn lots 0' dough ! BUTTS, DOROTIIY Dot plans to become a telephone switch- board operator. That'll be right in her line, for we have-n't as yet met the individual who could out-talk Dot. A mischievous twinkle in her eye is ever-present. She is full of good-humored jollity and is never really troubled over a problem, though she would have us think she is. CAHALI., FLORENCE Earth has no beauty that compares with the grace of a happy heart, and a happy heart Flo certainly appears to have. To he a teacher or a dress designer-that is her pressing problem. VVe've a hunch she'll choose the latter, for she already designs her own clothes-and most attractive they are, too. Gully ! CALIIOUN, VVILLIAM VVell, here is ONE graduate who knows very definitely what he wants! A technical school in the U. S. Army Air Corps is Bill's goal, and if he works there as dili- gently as he has as Vice-President of the Senior Hi-Y, we're sure he will win his stripes early. VVhat an outstanding historical name he has to uphold! 2' 'x v 1 E, Q ll 'J Q ' X J' X.. . l f ' 5 W , .J is if ' Q 3 J 5 xv. , , ' 3 v s u y , K?
